Archaeopterys is already working on such a page, taking
information from the compat patches for Tb18-24 I wrote.
<br>
<br>
Archaeopteryx, is there anything to add snippets to yet?

<br>
<br>
could you prepare a page on mdn dedicated to Thunderbird 24.0
<br>
breakages and code snippets in order to pull all Thunderbird
Addon
<br>
authors in? The aim is to have something on mdn that we can
contribute
<br>
snippets to to make update easier for less active Addon
developers.
<br>
<br>
I think it would be a good idea to have such a thing but only if
it is
<br>
easily discoverable to this specific group: I suggest that once
we
<br>
have a few snippets up, we publish to all addon authors via this
channel.
<br>
<br>
In particular I have 2 examples that I would like to contribute:
<br>
<br>
One regards the removal of widgetglue.js which leads to
<br>
GetMsgFolderFromUri being unknown (I think this one will land in
Tb25
<br>
so it is not that urgent yet, but it already affects users of
Daily
<br>
and Nightly builds). The other one is the transition of many Tb
<br>
variables from nsIMutableArray to nsIArray, particularly
<br>
nsIMsgAccountManager.accounts, which will break if you iterate
on it
<br>
using "Count()". I am sure others could come up with more
examples and
<br>
we do not want users to experience major breakages because of
easy to
<br>
fix bugs introduced by code refactoring on comm-central.
<br>
<br>
Could you put something together that we can contribute to on
mdn? I
<br>
think the aim is to get one central page (we Addon authors can
add a
<br>
technical section with examples once the main blurb is written)
that
<br>
is easily discovered and heavily publicised via /this ///channel
<br>
(Mozilla Add-ons) and the blog + facebook groups. It wouldn't
make
<br>
sense for me to just make an isolated page about
GetMsgFolderFromUri
<br>
that nobody can find...
<br>
<br>
I am cc'ing internal AMO & tb-planning (where I raised the
issue
<br>
first) for feedback and suggestions on other examples relevant
to Tb24.
<br>
<br>
thanks
<br>

<blockquote class=" cite" id="Cite_3474227" type="cite">Dear
add-on author,
<br>
<br>
Thunderbird 24 is coming soon - We've just released our second
beta, and it will be released to users on 17th September.
<br>
<br>
This will be the first big update released to users for a
year, so please check your add-ons. You can download
Thunderbird 24 from:
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/all-beta.html">http://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/all-beta.html</a>
<br>
<br>
In the meantime, we'll be running our remaining add-on
compatibility checks over this week, so expect some more
emails as we attempt to bring you up to date to TB 24.
<br>
<br>
So here's the normal email details that you get:
<br>
<br>
Good news! Our automated tests did not detect any
compatibility issues with your add-on quickFilters and
Thunderbird 22.*. We've updated your add-on's compatibility to
work with Thunderbird 22.* so that our Beta users can begin
using your add-on.
<br>
<br>
We encourage you to view the results of the compatibility
test, as some compatibility issues may have been detected but
without enough certainty to declare the add-on
incompatible:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/quickfilters/validation-result/233066">https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/quickfilters/validation-result/233066</a><br>
<br>
This compatibility bump is server-side and we did not modify
your add-on package in any way.
<br>
<br>
For more information on our new compatibility process with
rapid Thunderbird releases, please read this
post:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/">http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/</a><br>
<br>
Thank you,
